Compliance Implementation Services (CIS), a pharmaceutical compliance consulting firm, is pleased to announce that Erica L. Brooks has completed the requirements to be named by the Certification Board of ASQ (American Society for Quality) as an ASQ-Certified Quality Auditor (ASQ CQA). As such, she has reached a significant level of professional recognition, indicating a proficiency in and a comprehension of quality auditing tools and techniques.

“ASQ provides certification as a way to provide formal recognition to professionals who have demonstrated an understanding of, and a commitment to, quality techniques and practices in their job and career, ” explains E. David Spong, ASQ president. “This is a great accomplishment and, although not a formal registration or licensure, it represents a high level of peer recognition.”

To sit for the CQA examination, an individual must have eight years of on-the-job experience in one or more of the areas of the CQA body of knowledge, and three of those years must be in a decision-making position. CQAs apply a variety of auditing techniques in examining and evaluating products, processes, and quality systems against specific standards. CQAs also plan, develop, communicate, and execute an audit within a defined scope, applying management skills to teams and projects, use appropriate tools and methodologies to verify, document, and communicate audit results, and evaluate the effectiveness of corrective actions.

Ms. Brooks is currently a senior compliance manager with CIS where she specializes in developing and managing quality systems. She has an extensive background in Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA), change control, deviation, and metric management.
